I was betrayed by a very close friend in much the same manner. Except he only told one other person, the pastor. I don't think the pastor told anyone else, but I ended up leaving the church because I would have always been afraid that if I did much more than say hello to a boy in the future, the pastor might "warn" the parents about me. It may turn out ok. It turned out ok for Forgiven. Maybe the parents and B will be understanding. Another option is to agree to limit your time with B to times when others are around in exchange for them not telling B or the parents, if you are willing to do this. If they are truly telling the parents to protect B, then this should be enough. And if the worst happens and things become ubbearable there, you can start over somewhere else. Starting over is scary, but it can be done. And no one would know your secret to betray you. Dakota |
